Brittney Griner was the top pick of the Phoenix Mercury in Monday's WNBA Draft. A decade ago this year, LeBron James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Griner is talked about among fans of the women's game the way LeBron was talked about as a high-schooler, a once-in-a-generation talent who would have a transformational effect on the sport.

In a move that couldn't have been unplanned, Griner wore a white suite to the draft identical to the one James wore in 2003. The WNBA's official Twitter account took note of this, posting pictures of the two side-by-side.

Griner has yet to begin her pro career, but she already has a big fan in LeBron. In a recent interview with WNBA.com, the Miami Heat superstar compared Griner to Wilt Chamberlain for her dominance over her competition.

LeBron has lived up to that pre-draft hype and then some. Time will tell whether Griner will have similar success, but she's off to a good start.
